What's Going On: PCCY's Picasso Project, Philadelphia Marathon, American Assoc. for Cancer Research

Published: July 22, 2021, 8:52 p.m.

b'Most of my life \\u2013 I hated running. Really hated it. I would do any kind of exercise except jogging. Hearing about the great work of the American Association for Cancer Research inspired me to sign up for my first race which benefited the AACR. Training for that 5k got me started and now I run two or three miles up to five times a week. AACR is a sponsor of this year\\u2019s Philadelphia Marathon which took a break last year because of COVID but is back this year in person on November 19-21. I speak to Dave Wilson, Deputy Managing Director and lead for the 2021 Philadelphia Marathon who gives us all the details. I also talk with Mitch Stoller, Chief Philanthropic Officer and VP of Development at American Association for Cancer Research who fills us in on how we can help raise money for AACR during Philadelphia Marathon Weekend by signing up for the Runners for Research team.
